Sigmund Freud vs. C.S. Lewis in a Texas death-match
• Wishful Thinking
For more than 25 years, Dr. Armand Nicholi has taught a popular course at Harvard University in which students deconstruct the lives and arguments of Freud, one of the 20th century's chief spokesmen for atheism, and Lewis, who came to faith at age 31.
Using these classes as something academics like to call research Nicholi has written The Question of God: C.S. Lewis and Sigmund Freud Debate God, Love, Sex, and the Meaning of Life.
Isn't that as sweet as it is unlikely?There is no evidence that Freud and Lewis ever met, Nicholi said. But, he adds, had such a meeting occurred, "I think they would have really had a great relationship. They would have respected each other's minds."
The series based on Nicholi's book will be called The Question of God, and will air on PBS stations in early fall.
